White House caught in massive lie about Jim Acosta…and there’s video to prove it

CNN’s Jim Acosta was in a heated exchange with President Donald Trump at Trump’s defensive and tense press conference on Wednesday, following the Midterm elections that saw Democrats gain control of the House of Representatives. In the aftermath, Acosta has lost his clearance to attend White House press meetings and has even been accused of assault by Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who claims that Acosta put his hands on a young White House aide who tried to forcefully take a microphone away from him.

First, the staffer reached over Acosta’s arm, touching him as she grabbed for the microphone, which was followed by a second attempt for the microphone, reaching over the top of Acosta’s arm where she made contact with him.

She went on to make contact with Acosta for a third and fourth time, which you can clearly see in the video below.

“Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit.”
Acosta posted a video of a Secret Service officer removing his pass.
“I was just told to do it,” the officer said on the recording.
“I am now giving my hard pass to the Secret Service,” Acosta said.

The US Secret Service just asked for my credential to enter the WH. As I told the officer, I don’t blame him. I know he’s just doing his job. (Sorry this video is not rightside up) pic.twitter.com/juQeuj3B9R
